RE: Unix-like shell program for the Macintosh
Hello,
I am looking for public-domain or inexpensive software
for the Macintosh which would allow me to run "batch
jobs" or csh shell programs. Specifically, I would
like to be able to use a csh-like script on the Mac
to call programs that I have written. I would like
these programs to run in the background under Multifinder
so that I can continue to use my Macintosh while they
are running. I almost figured out how to do this with MPW,
except that the programs couldn't run in the background.
More specific questions:
1) Does anyone have experience with MINIX on the Macintosh?
Will that allow me to do this?
2) I haven't tried System 7 yet. Is there something in
there that would allow me to run "batch jobs"?
Thank you for your help and advice.
Sincerely,
-- Dan Weeks --
